Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the Eye Network unveiled still more intriguing stuff. I'm already earmarking space for these new thangs on my DVR.

1) OK, I don't know what's up with all the shows about kids getting snatched or held up this year, but Hostages might be the one I choose to watch. (I can't watch more than one, or I'll have nightmares.) Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott face off in this show, in which Toni plays a surgeon operating on the President, and Dylan plays someone who wants her to kill him—or face the death of her family. But the original arrangement appears to go haywire.

2) Here's what Anna Faris on TV looks like. I feel like if anyone can pull off a multicam, it's the wide-eyed, exuberant Anna. This is Mom:

3) Will Arnett and Margo Martindale make a real cute son 'n' mom in the sweet, silly sitcom The Millers.

4) Last but not least, I can't not at least give Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar together a chance.The Crazy Ones finds them playing a father and daughter who run an advertising firm together.

5) You'll have to wait a little while to get your James Van Der Beek fix.Friends With Better Lives, which stars James Van Der Beek, will have a midseason premiere.
